Abstract (en)
A refrigerator appliance (100) comprises an evaporator (130) that forms with a compressor (140) and a condenser (150) a closed cooling circuit wherein a refrigerant fluid is made to circulate. The condenser (150) is a configured as a skin condenser and comprises a serpentine tube (160) associated with a thermally conductive layer (170). The thermally conductive layer (170) is made up of a plurality of plates (171, 172) arranged such that a tail portion of a first plate (171) is superimposed to and connected with a front portion of a second plate (172). Straight portions (161, 162) of the serpentine tube (160) are clinched between the two plates at their connection interface. A defrost water drain pipe (180) typically used to drain condensation water from the evaporator is arranged in thermal exchange contact with the skin condenser (150).
